Wednesday Social Bowls had 16 players. The winners this week with 2 wins and +13 were visitors Jason McCloy and Marg Dodds.
Runners up (on a count back) were another visitor Max Saunders and Terry "Shagga" Baxter.
Friday Social had a field of 20 players and the winners were the two Bobs again, Evans and Brokenshire.
Runners up were the team of Ray Brown and Les Spencer (funny thing happened in this game when Greg Green with his second last bowl with the scores level and one down on the head... would you believe it ... wrong bias!)
Wow the club saw the funny side to it. The consolation prize went to the very entertaining pairing of Hans Lang and Frank Linberg.

During the short break from publishing the YBC reports we have had a mixture of sad and glad news.
Sincere Condolences go out to Peter Boyd’s family on his passing. Peter was a tireless worker for the bowls club for many years. RIP Peter.
Condolences also go out to Loris Banger’s family on her passing. Loris was a social member of the club. RIP Loris.
On a happier note, Pat O’Kane celebrated his 90th birthday with a big celebration held at the club. Happy Birthday Pat from all your friends at YBC.
On Sunday August 14, Yarrawonga Bowls are having a free fun day and coaching for members.
It will be a 10am start, light lunch supplied and door prizes. This will be a good opportunity for the members to get to know and welcome new members.
Only 11 days away so names will need to be down ASAP for catering purposes.
On Sunday August 21, the club are having a luncheon at Burkes, arrival time 12.30pm.
Come along for a nice meal, good company, and show your support for the clubs sponsors. The sheet is up for names of those wishing to join in.
Club shirts will be updated this season so a sheet is out for members to put their names and sizes down.
The club will be getting a couple of the more popular size shirts made up (once the final decision is made) for people to try on and get an idea on the sizing and how they will look when finalised.
Hoping to get them finished in time for the start of this year’s pennant season if possible.
If you haven’t got your name down for Midweek Pennant, Weekend Pennant and 60 and Over as yet, please do. Even if it is only as an emergency, they are always needed.

This weeks games –
Social Bowls on Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Saturday’s as long as there are the numbers, there are sheets out for these days.
The club are trying to cater for the people that have not gone away for the winter and still want to bowl. The format on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s vary to fit what works for the number of players on the day.
It is also a good chance to practice some of the shots we could do better at.
Surprisingly enough (for a very cold winter) we have had some very good days and some cold days of course, but as they say, it is winter, so layer up, come along, and join for an enjoyable game of bowls and social interaction.
Today – Wednesday, August 3 - Social Bowls.
Saturday, August 6 - Social Bowls.
Monday, August 8 - 2-4-2.
All these games start at 12.30pm and names need to be down by 11am on the day.
To any members that are not well at the moment, speedy recovery.
To those heading back from their winter break, safe travels.
To all, good health, good bowling, good fellowship and enjoy!
